The BCCI has consti-
tuted an ad-hoc commit-
tee to run cricket in
Rajasthan and ensure the
participation of teams
from the state in the
2015-16 domestic season.
Amrit Mathur, a former
manager of the India
team, will take over as the
co-ordinator of the com-
mittee, which will com-
prise CK Khanna, Milind
Kanmadikar, Snehal
Parikh and PV Shetty.
"This step is in line
with the BCCI philosophy
of keeping the interest of
cricket and the players on
top priority," Jagmohan
Dalmiya, the BCCI pres-
ident, said. "Like any
other side playing domes-
tic cricket in India,
Rajasthan cricketers will
have all the facilities,
exposure and opportuni-
ties to perform and excel."
According to a BCCI
insider, an ad-hoc com-
mittee was the most log-
ical option considering
the complex situation in
Rajasthan cricket, and
remained the last hope
for the state's players to
compete in the upcoming
domestic season.
The BCCI had sus-
pended the Rajasthan
Cricket Association (RCA)
in May 2014 after the lat-
ter elected Lalit Modi, an
expelled administrator, as
its president. The board
then omitted the RCA
from the 2014-15 domes-
tic programme.
Rajasthan eventually
got to play---though not
under the RCA banner---
after the Rajasthan High
Court heard a writ peti-
tion signed by 75 players,
and directed the Rajasthan
Sports Council, the RCA
and the BCCI to work in
tandem and appoint
selection committees to
select teams for the
board's senior, junior and
women's tournaments.
While that came as a
boost for the players, the
impasse between the
BCCI and the RCA con-
tinued. The RCA remains
suspended, and a faction
led by Amin Pathan has
staged a revolt against
Modi's body. The High
Court hasn't even allowed
the Sports Council to run
the state's cricket affairs.

So often it seems that Aus-
tralia loses an Ashes series
in England and then wins the
one-day matches that follow.
Perhaps they feel the need
to prove themselves after such
a defeat, perhaps England take
their foot off the gas, or per-
haps Australia are simply a
better ODI side.
Whatever the case, Aus-
tralia's Ashes disappointments
in 2009 and 2013 were fol-
lowed by victories in the ODI
series.
In 2005, they also beat
England in the one-dayers,
though they came before the
Ashes loss.
And they have started this
series in the same vein, with
a big win in the first ODI in
Southampton to follow on
from their Ashes defeat.
It is, of course, no conso-
lation, but Steven Smith and
his men will nevertheless
hope to retain that winning
feeling at Lord's.
At the Ageas Bowl, Aus-
tralia's strong top-order bat-
ting set them on the path to
victory, although it took some
late hitting from Matthew
Wade and Mitchell Marsh to
really push the target up into
challenging territory after a
collapse.
All the same, their 305 for
six was the kind of score that
England could have over-
hauled, especially when they
reached 152 for two in the 27th
over.
"It's nice to win...especially
in a five-game series and it's
really back-to-back, all the
games.
"To get a win is really
important for us and hope-
fully we can take the momen-
tum down to London and
keep winning," said Wade,
after Australia's victory in the
first ODI.
But Australia's impressive
fast-bowling unit put the
brakes on, and showed that
despite some personnel
changes since the World Cup
triumph in March, they
remain an imposing one-day
unit.
If they can make it 2-0
today, it's a long way back for
England.
"Australia put us under the
pump, but I think we're a bet-
ter side than that," said Eoin
Morgan.

Four wickets was a fine
return for Adil Rashid in
Southampton, even if two
did come off full tosses.
His legspin had the
Australians guessing and
given their struggles
against quality slow
bowling in the past, he
could be a key man
throughout the remainder
of the series.
Things couldn't be
going much worse for
Shane Watson right now.
Dropped from the Test
side during the Ashes, he
then missed an
attempted kick to keep
the ball off his stumps in
the T20 in Cardiff and
was bowled, and in
Southampton was the
run-out victim of a bad
call from his partner
Matthew Wade. Surely he
must be due for a change
in fortunes. Surely.
England are unlikely to
panic after defeat, but
could look at rejigging
the pace attack.
Liam Plunkett and
David Willey are both in
the squad and would
offer different
challenges: Plunkett
extra pace and Willey the
left-arm angle.

Australia are unlikely
to change their winning
side.
Should they wrap the
series up early they
might consider debuts
for Ashton Agar and
Marcus Stoinis, but they
will be reluctant to tinker
just yet.
